AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 10 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS FOR CIVIL CLAIMS BASED ON SEXUAL ABUSE OF A MINOR.

Summary

The bill removes the statute of limitations for civil actions based on sexual abuse of a minor, allowing survivors to file suit in Superior Court whenever they choose. It covers both individuals and institutions and waives the state's sovereign immunity. The change is intended to give justice to victims who were too young to act during the earlier two‑year window.
